Summer is officially over at 3:09 UT on 9/23, which (heads up) is 8:09 pm today 9/22 in California.

Let’s see. That means I have approximately 7.5 more hours to enjoy summer. I have about 7.5 hours to wait until that moment in time when “there is a location on the Earth’s equator where the center of the Sun can be observed to be vertically overhead,” (Wikipedia). I have today and tomorrow to experience as having equal day and night hours.

I just can’t bring myself to write any more than that, sitting here in a cold house staring out at a beautiful sunny day. This is the last day of summer after all and I have fewer and fewer moments to be present to that.

So I leave you with this information and these links and invite you to enjoy your last moments of summer and first moments of autumn. Rake the leaves in your bathing suit and serve margaritas if you like. Whatever you do, be present.

Today is the day of the Moon Festival in Asia when they celebrate the lady living in the moon, rather than the man, and eat mooncakes. I could go for a mooncake.

The full moon tonight, well tomorrow morning at 2:17am PDT is called the Harvest Moon; also, the Gypsy Moon and Chrysanthemum Moon. The Oto tribe calls it Spider Web on the Ground at Dawn Moon. I kind of like that one.

With both eyes on the sky tonight, you can get a good look at Jupiter and Uranus rising in the eastern sky. This article will tell you more.

Finally, I leave you with a song that gets a lot of hits this time of year. So take a moment, get comfy, and let the sounds and music wash over you. On the one hand, this is one person singing to another. In my world, it is the Divine singing to me. It is Gaia singing to me, to all of us: “Because I’m still in love with you, I want to see you dance again.”

We are music. We are Love. We are dancers, all.

Enjoy, beautiful ones, and I’ll see you on the other side of the equinox.
